Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes, the downs are about as low as they can get. When that happens, all you can do is pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep chugging along. As long as you’re still drawing breath, there’s hope that things will get better.
We scoured the internet to find 50 people who could only make you feel better about your own day. Some of these are hilarious, and others will have you cringing with sympathy for the unlucky person who got the short end of the stick.
You won’t envy these people…
1. Never stick your head in a tree
Ouch! This poor guy decided to stick his head into the hole on a tree, and what he saw was a porcupine ready to attack. On the bright side, none of the needles went into his eyes, so it could have been a lot worse.

2. Bed-head, meet drone-head
Getting stuff stuck in your hair always sucks, especially when that something is a massive drone that’s supposed to be flying in the sky. I still don’t understand how this happened, maybe she tried to balance on her head or something?
3. Time to go the other way…
This adventurer got more than he bargained for while exploring these cave tunnels, in the form of a massive grizzly bear. Can you imagine seeing this as you come around the corner? I’d probably pee myself…If he didn’t eat me first that is.
When these people woke up, I’m guessing the last thing on their minds was their shelving in their kitchen. That’s until they heard the crash from it toppling, and their morning turned bad. That probably sounded like a bomb going off.
Have you ever went to throw something and threw the wrong thing? I sure have, and that’s exactly what happened to this Twitter user. Instead of throwing her remote onto her bed, she tossed the chocolate milk that was in her other hand.
Who doesn’t love makeovers? We’re guessing this guy doesn’t like them anymore, after he used hair dye he was allergic to and his head swelled up like a balloon. That doesn’t even look real, how terrifying.
This person thought they’d have a nice clean house until their Roomba ran over their dog’s poop and smeared it all over the kitchen. I don’t think that will ever work the same. It certainly won’t smell the same.

These arborists’ lost control of the tree they were trimming, sending a huge branch crashing right through this persons window. Talk about a bad day, but at least no one got hurt.
9. “You’ve been drinking my breast milk”
This new mother got sick and tired of people drinking her coffee cream, so she took the issue to another level. She swapped out the creamer for her breast milk, and then put a not confessing what she had done after they drank it all week.
10. When you thought you got away
Running from the police is never an activity that I would suggest to someone, especially if you’re going to drop your phone in the process. The officers actually went on to his Facebook and made a post. I bet his stomach dropped when he saw that!
11. My ceilings growing feet
When this man’s wife went to the attic to retrieve their Christmas tree, she ended up stepping on the drywall and falling right through. Now it looks like his ceiling is growing legs. Next time, be a gentleman and go get it for her!
Umbrellas are a great invention that have been keeping people dry for thousands of years, but they don’t really work when the winds are high. This person learned that the hard way when his umbrella was snapped and taken away by the wind.
Usually getting a package that isn’t yours wouldn’t be a big deal, unless the person seemingly ordered the entire Amazon warehouse. That’s what happened to this person, now they don’t know where to put all those packages.
If you have an ant problem, best to check anything you eat before putting it in your mouth. This person didn’t and ended up eating 6-8 bites worth of ants. Yikes, that’s traumatizing.
If you’ve ever sat next to an obnoxious person on a plane, then you know how annoying it can be. This guy takes it to the next level. He decided to kick his shoes off and relax his feet right next to this lady’s head, he lucky he still has all his toes.
After doing the responsible thing and not driving drunk, this person thought they’d have some good karma but that wasn’t the case. When they came back to get their car, it was parked smack-dab in the middle of a farmers market.

We’ve all done it, parked somewhere we weren’t supposed to just to run into somewhere. This person realized that was a bad idea after they parked in a no-parking zone at a supermarket and came out to a car surrounded by shopping carts.
One thing you never want to hear when it comes to children, is “I thought you had the baby?” That’s what happened during this text exchange, we’re just hoping it was an honest mistake and they found the baby.

19. Bad day at the Home Depot
This worker at Home Depot went to work like any other day, only on this day, she ended up with a face full of paint. I wonder how often this actually happens? Probably much more than you would think.
When working out, there’s always a fear that you might let out a fart while pushing up on the weights. For this man, that fear became a reality when he ripped a big one right into some poor lady’s direction while on the leg press.
21. That’s beautiful…Correction, was beautiful
This artist spent a great deal of time perfecting this amazing sculpture, but it went south after the face of it got completely smooshed. That’s horrible, I bet they literally cried when this happened. I know I would have…
When you lock your keys in your car, at least you can always rely on AAA to come to get them out quickly. Or can you? If you have this AAA driver, you might have to wait for him to get his own keys out first.
There’s nothing worse than over-cooking a nice lasagna when you’re starving for dinner. I take that back, this is much worse. This man went to bring the family-style lasagna to the table, only to drop it all over his favorite shoes.
24. Damaged beyond repair
It’s one thing to crack the screen on your laptop, it’s another to crumple it like an accordion. That’s what this person did, and we can’t even imagine how it happened. No buddy, rice isn’t going to do anything for that.
This one is a bad day for both parties. Particularly for the kid who crashed his scooter into the wet cement, but also for the person whose wet cement was ruined. We’ll just chalk it up as a tie.
26. “Power tools and beards don’t mix”
This guy thought he could get away with using his power tools without putting his beard up, but it was a mistake. He got it caught in the tool, and it cut off have of his precious beard. All that time growing it, just for this.
If you’ve ever had a bad roommate, then you know this struggle all too well. This person plans on one-upping you, with this picture of the pot that their roommate melted to the stove. How did that even happen!?
If you ever decide to visit the Eiffel Tower, make sure to check the weather before going. These people didn’t, and their honeymoon was overshadowed by the glooming weather. They can’t see anything through that fog.
This mother decided to surprise her child at college but ended up doing some breaking-and-entering in someone else dorm room. I hope they didn’t come home to this, that would be terrifying.
30. Put your money in the bank
If you have animals, you might want to put your money in the bank. This person has a secret stash tucked away in a Tupperware box, but their dog got into it and shredded it to pieces.
This painter didn’t really think this one through, and he got stuck on a painted island because of it. How he’s going to get himself out of this one is beyond me. Either he’ll be standing there for hours, or he’ll have to paint back over his footsteps.
Puppies are a joy to have, most of the time. This 6-month-old Labrador proved the latter part of that when he used his owner’s Air Pods as a chew toy.
Gardens are already hard enough to plant and maintain, so when you have the weather giving you problems, it’s near impossible. This person planted a garden, only to have it buried in a snow storm.
Here’s another artist who accidentally had the face of their sculpture smashed. I don’t know about this one though, it says it was “almost finished” but doesn’t really look that way to me. Unless she was sculpting a bald elderly man…
This person named, Suna, played the Sith game from Star Wars that requires spelling your name backward to find out who you are. He ended up being “Darth Anus,” and wasn’t the least bit pleased with the outcome.
At first glance, it looks like there are two doors on this house but that’s not the case. It’s actually snow that fell so heavily, that it’s higher than the entrance to the house. Hope you’ve got food and water, you’ll be there for a while.
This guy showed up to this party thinking it was a costume party, but he couldn’t have been more wrong. No one else is dressed up, and his Ninja Turtle outfit really stands out. Who knows, maybe he dresses like this all the time.
Anyone who has bent over to have their pants rip knows exactly how embarrassing it is. I bet you weren’t marching in front of loads of people when it happened, so this guy has you beat.
When this person bought a Ford Fiesta Flame, I bet they never imagined the F would fall off of the flame. It did, now they just drive a Ford Fiesta Lame and probably get made fun of by other drivers.
This person forgot to roll their windows up before a snowstorm, so they ended up with a car completely full of snow. Man, that really sucks. The electrical in that car will never be the same if it even still works.
When it comes to dress shoes, some of them look too much alike. This guy learned that the hardware after he wore two different shoes to work. He didn’t even notice for hours, hopefully, no one else did either.
Baking is not easy, even though some people make it look that way. These bakers the wrong mix, and threw it in the dumpster not realizing that the yeast would continue to expand. Now it looks like something out of the Ghost Busters movie.
43. Out of all the places to drop it…
Dropping a key is usually not a big deal…Unless you’re standing over a storm drain and it’s the key to your new office. That’s what this guy did, and of course, it fell right through the drain.
This guy was enjoying a nice coke at all a ball game when he looked down in horror. The person in front of him let their long, greasy, dreadlocks fall right into his coke. I wonder if he said anything, I would have!
This person’s kid neighbor thought their car needed a little artistic touch, so he decided to give it one with a rock. The kiddo scratched the entire side of their minivan, now it looks like someone keyed their car.
After a huge rainstorm, this person went out to their balcony and it was like they were living in the middle of a river. Better get your swim trunks ready, or else you’ll be staying inside for a long time.
If you have dogs, you know all about picking up their poop. This person accidentally ripped the bag, so they ended up with a fist full of dog poop. I hope they washed their hands when they got hope, but good luck getting that out of your fingernails.
Anyone who drives has most likely forgotten something on the top of their car. That’s what this person did, and they didn’t catch it in time to save it. What a bummer, hopefully, some of that food is still salvageable.
49. Forgetting something?
When this person ordered cheeseburgers with Mac sauce, it ended up being too much for the employees to execute. They got the Mac sauce right, but somehow they completely forgot the meat.
I’ve done this before, and now I check all the tops on my spices before using them. After ruining their pizza with Red Pepper, I’m betting that this person will start checking them too.
